Into a well shaft
82-year-old screamed for help for 90 minutes after falling
A pensioner had a particularly unfortunate fall into a well shaft in Launsdorf, Carinthia, on Wednesday morning. Only after a good 90 minutes did someone hear her cries for help.
In the early hours of the morning, the 82-year-old stepped on a rotten cover of a well shaft - suddenly she broke through. "She fell to the ground at a depth of around 1.5 meters," reports the Thalsdorf volunteer fire department. "She sustained unspecified injuries and was unable to free herself." But it was a long time before her desperate cries for help were heard.
"It was only after almost 90 minutes that neighbors and relatives heard the casualty and immediately set the rescue chain in motion at around 9 a.m.," the fire department continues.
Fortunately, things then moved quickly and the 82-year-old was rescued by the firefighters and handed over to the rescue team. The helpers from Launsdorf, Thalsdorf, St. Donat and St. Veit were deployed.
